Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2023

Phantom study evaluating accuracy and efficiency of the Access Cube as compared to the standard of care Free Hand Method. Statistically significantly improved accuracy and overall lower intervention time.

Biopsy of a thoracic mass using the Access Cube to support planning of an optimal route which would not damage surrounding tissue.

Biopsy was diagnostic and performed without complication.

Frontiers in Surgery, 2023

Case series to report experience with the patient-mounted Cube Navigation System to guide needle placement for complex access routes in lumbar pain therapy.

Grigoriadis, S.; Filippiadis, D.; Stamatopoulou, V. et al.

Medicina, 2022

Five clinical cases of splanchnic nerve radiofrequency neurolysis were performed using the Cube Navigation System. The Puncture Cube was found to be simple to use, while allowing for highly accurate needle placement and optimal calculation of double oblique access routes.

Mokry, A., Willmitzer, F., Hostettler, R. et al.

Neuroradiology, 2019

Assessment of the Puncture Cube as compared to the standard of care Free Hand Method. Accuracy and time requirements were compared in this ex-vivo, phantom study.

Puncture Cube resulted in a statistically significantly improved accuracy and overall lower intervention time. Number of CT scans was reduced to 2.3 versus FHM 2.8.

Scharll, Y., Mitteregger, A., Lamier, G. et al.

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2022

Assessment of the Puncture Cube as compared to a robotic navigation device.
Puncture Cube was found to be competitive with other navigational systems on the market as well as having 30% faster procedure time, not including set up or breakdown time

Krammer, L., Kadrijaj, V., Hostettler, R., et al.

CIRSE, 2022

Poster Presentation. First evaluation of accuracy and efficiency of the Access Cube as compared to the standard of care Free Hand Method. Statistically significantly improved accuracy and overall lower intervention time. The number of CT scans was reduced to 1.4 versus FHM 2.8.
